What role should Michael Forbes have?
Their place is the heart of the defence as CB. A pure centre-back: pair them with a quick one if they lack top speed, and use their aerial dominance at set pieces. The game also rewards them with roles like Defender, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
Their weapons: strength (71) and jumping (64). That unremarkable strength is their signature.
Do they have weaknesses?
Their weak points: composure (47), slide tackling (54) and top speed (55). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they a good buy?
Their market price sits around 443 K€, with 7 K€ in wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How much will they grow?
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 71 — that's +14 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
